FROMAGERIE SAINT-HELIER
Go there and contact
This old-fashioned storefront in the heart of rue Saint-Hélier is home to the oldest cheese factory in Rennes, open since 1979! In this small shop, Vincent Thomas has been unearthing and showcasing his cheeses for more than 14 years, paying particular attention to local origins. On the generously stocked shelves, there are more than 150 A.O.C or A.O.P cheeses, with a growing selection of organic cheeses. We also discover products such as gwell ("gros lait" in Breton), a Finisterian speciality made only from the milk of the Breton black magpie cow. Classics such as camembert, blue-veined pasta or goat's milk, cow's milk cheeses will allow you to make a very tasty cheese platter at a very reasonable price. Recent work has made it possible to extend the creamery corner which offers milk, fresh cream, white cheeses and yoghurts made from Jersey cow's milk, produced in Langan. A friendly welcome, professional advice, freshness and quality are to be discovered. You can also take advantage of wine and cheese advice and buy cider, homemade beer and jams. An address which smells good the soil.
